Hey Lyn, Nice to have a blog from you for a change. I have to say i am not disappointed, you are as much of an informer as Luce is with her informative writing prowess :0). I am still loving the amazing pictures and think back at my time in Alaska doing exactly the same type of hiking as you are doing. Talking very loudly, bear bell shaking madly and your heart beating rather fast at every corner lol.
Day 10 - Jingle Bells and Ice Bergs
Trip Start
Jul 22, 2011
Trip End
Aug 15, 2011
After a hectic night preparing last night, I was up at 0630 and by 0700 was driving to the mountains with Ioan, eating my porridge fused with syrup navigating the road of many switch backs. If I wasn't in such a rush to do the 50 mile drive I would have stopped to take some pictures of the double rainbow at the top of our street. It was also raining and we had no waterproofs. I would have gone back to the house to get them but time was of the essence so we had to make a move.
We were aiming to catch the 08.30 lake shuttle at Many Glacier Hotel, so we could hike the Grinnell Glacier trail. It's normally 11 mile hike, but you can catch the boat and it shortens the walk by 3 miles. 8 miles up hill sounds better than 8 + 3 lakeshore miles.
We made good time, entering the National Park enterance at 08.20. When I confirmed the launch location of the shuttle the ranger looked at me and said there is no boat today the Grinnell hike is closed. WHAT ! ( I have one day in my life allocated to this and its closed !!) Well due the the very heavy snow fall this winter the trail has had to be closed until they can blow the snow with dynamite. They cant do this until the bears have moved on .... I think I took longer than normal at the park entrance gate, as cars were queuing behind me and the ranger just looked at me while I talked gibberish ... what can I do ......
Like all good hikers and anyone married to Luce, I had a back up plan, Iceberg Lake, as a shorter 10 mile alternative. ( I always have a backup plan, but Luce did come up with this one)
So we parked in the nearly empty car park and saddled up, we are in Montana you know!! We had aqua sacs and water bottles, apples, trail bars, sandwiches and wraps, malt balls and bear spray (one each quickly locatable) and one additional accessory, the bear bell. This was to hang off Ioans ruc sac and drive us bloody mad ...
We were about to hike up a valley with water and fish one side and bear houses (caves, rock outcrops, trees and bushes etc) the other. Bear alley is not an understatement. There was no one else on the trail when we set off.... so it was with jingling bell we went. The ranger said to make lots of noise when I mentioned Iceberg Lake. I proceeded to lead whilst talking loudly to Ioan (who is not the most talkative of my kids). From the car park we went immediately up hill to break the tree line, before we traversed the side of the valley upwards for several miles. We were in and out of trees with our bells going and me talking. In the end I began singing "jingle bells, Ioan smells all the bears have run way, oh what fun it is to hike with Ioan's jingling bell" You had to be there to relate to the terror. After about an hour's frantic hiking, we were motoring. We found a few hikers in front of us so we felt a bit more safe and then slowed down a bit.
We rounded a corner to find a guy sitting with 4 camping chairs reading a book, just at the fork of the trail, it was about 09.30. We spoke for a few minutes. He is doing his Master's thesis, and wanted us to complete a quick questionnaire on our way down. We noticed he had his ankle in plaster. At this point, Io and I were strong, we had 2 miles to Iceberg Lake and at the fork were 2.5 miles away from the Pitamakin Tunnel. This is a 185 foot tunnel cut through beteen two valleys. A must do, we have nothing like it in Wales ! So we said to ourselves and this guy, yes, we will do the questionaire, once we do both hikes.
Onwards and upwards, in the raising sun we hiked up and up and up ... it was never ending but towards the top just when we had a tiny glimpse of the lake the trail turned, we lost height and had to plough through some snow fields to get to the shore. But what a view, every step was worth it. We ended up inside a bowl of sheer clifs rising 3100 feet above us ( the top was Iceberg Lake Peak at 9120 feet. We were at 6000 feet, not less than about � mile from the shoreline.
The snow had just piled up around the lake and caused lots of little icebergs to float in the water. They moved around with the wind a bit. The water kept changing colour as the wind and sun changed the extremely clear water a deep aqua colour. Everyone knows what Lake Lousie looks like in Canada, now I know why, Iceberg Lake was very similar. Amazing.
The rock was sheer and in the bright sunlight and closudless sky, absolutely amazing. We spent a good hour here (looking and eating of course.)
Where the snow fields had entered the water, big cracks were appearing and moving ever so slowly. My photos don't do it justice, so I gave up and started memorising what it looked like.
When we arrived there were about 15 people sitting around quietly, but the time we left, there were only two people left.... it was so peaceful. On the way down not 20 minutes from the top we started passing lots of people on the way up, the further we descended the more people we passed. We were fully kitted, like all the early walkers we met, but by mid day it was trainers, a hand bottle and young kids. It was getting very hot. All the shade we had during ascent in the trees had gone, the sun was overhead and Io and I just laughed at the state of people as they were walking up. Mad. One family asked how far to the top (read the sign posts, don't you know where you are going ??)
We stopped at our Thesis student and competed our questionnaire, and were duely bitten to death by horseflies and other bugs. We had a chat with the guy, and had to ask him the one question Io and I had debated. How did he get the four chairs, all his gear, clip boards etc all with a broken foot, to which he casually replied, he had carried it all up this morning as if to say, like whats the big concern. Io and I were blown away, we expected him to say his friend helped him or something ... mad!
So we felt quite feeble when we decided not to do the The Pitamakin Tunnel as it was 2.5 miles and quite an uphill steep hike. The last 800 feet are up switchbacks to get to the tunnel, some 1300 feet above where we were right then. The thought of 5 miles and that ascent made up our minds. It was getting too hot, so we decided to go onwards and downwards.
We walked without stopping until we got down to the car completing the hike just over the 5 hour mark, finishing about 13.30 and some 10 miles completed. The car temprature put us in the 80's so we walked over to the shop for an ice cream to celebrate. We went outside and got talking to one of the independant Glacier Guides. He asked us where we had been etc and I told him our change of plans. He mentioned the reason the Grinnel is closed was that someone slipped to their death there two weeks ago, crossing the snow fields... hence its closure. A lot of hikes are closed off in the park due to the heavy snow, especially in the more remote locations and longer hikes where there is no maintenance. So Io and I were lucky to get up to Iceberg.
I drove home the hour and a half from Many Glacier, while Io slept. We came into a hero's welcome.... I spoke to Luce and the kids, had a shower and hit the sack for about 2 hours, then had some food and beer....
So thats my day and first blog entry...... my feet are sore, my arms burnt, my body aches and I am so happy with myself. Ioan btw, is in bed, annoouncing at 20.00hours was tired, no stamina, lol.
Well done Lyn Good hike good Blog and Ioan fancy having to walk and put up with your Dads singing Lol
Well done Lyn and Ioan. Great write up Lyn and fantastic photos. Like Chris, we can relate to hiking in some very remote trails in the US and Canada and singing loudly like idiots just incase! Unlike you though, we never did see a bear up close. We did have a scary moment passing a couple of mooses on a trail though - not quite the same!!

Numeraire-invariant option pricing & american, bermudan, and trigger stream rollover
Jamshidian, Farshid (2004) Numeraire-invariant option pricing & american, bermudan, and trigger stream rollover.
398kB |
Abstract: | Part I proposes a numeraire-invariant option pricing framework. It defines an option, its price process, and such notions as option indistinguishability and equivalence, domination, payoff process, trigger option, and semipositive option. It develops some of their basic properties, including price transitivity law, indistinguishability results, convergence results, and, in relation to nonnegative arbitrage, characterizations of semipositivity and consequences thereof. These are applied in Part II to study the Snell envelop and american options. The measurability and right-continuity of the former is established in general. The american option is then defined, and its pricing formula (for all times) is presented. Applying a concept of a domineering numeraire for superclaims derived from (the additive) Doob-Meyer decomposition, minimax duality formulae are given which resemble though differ from those in [R] and [H-K]. Multiplicative Doob-Meyer decomposition is discussed last. A part III is also envisaged. |

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.44 / 5.00 3,068 ViewsHey, I'm back from the dead with something that ISN'T Sonic for once! Before anyone asks, simply put:
The day SEGA releases decent Sonic games again will be the day I become motivated to continue Sonic VS Super Sonic.
Anyway, it's high time that Bowser gets some spotlight and a song of his own! After all, he's been a long time villain hasn't he?
Edit: Forgot to mention this in the credits, but the Elise and some of the SFX sprites came from the Mystical Forest Zone (www.themysticalforestzon e.com) Sorry.
this is good for a first non sonic video your really talented vixin
Thankies. For my next trick, I will attempt drawn...or give up and go back to sprites. Whatever comes first.
Pretty good
For your first none sonic video it's good ^^. Like the song 2. But why do you say your gona do sonic flash if a good sonic come's out? Unleashed was good...in the day ^^'
Hope your gona like sonic and the black knight i want 2 know the end of sonic vs Ss
Glad you liked the flash.
I have to admit that first impressions of Unleashed was slow...REAL slow (meaning the hub and cut scenes), but then I played the day levles and it almost felt like Sonic. Too bad there Werehog levels killed it for me. I played the Wii version and that's mass torture!
nice song
it was mostly good because of the music and i liked it :)
Thankies. Glad you liked it.
that was hilarious!
vixin mcloud u never cease to crack me up! that was just awesome full fledged 10/10
Thankies and hopefully I can crack you up again in future. ^^

Khan, E. and Shaukat, S. F. and Monk, S. D. (2009) Monte Carlo GPS based Solution for speed limit indicator. World Applied Sciences Journal, 6 (12). pp. 1691-1697. ISSN 1818-4952
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
A comprehensive research has been undertaken to design and develop the GPS based, low cost and easily installable speed limit indicator in public and private vehicles. The device includes the building efficient GPS mapping technique for defining sentinels and a database for sentinel's storage utilizing minimum memory. These sentinels contain all concerned information required for navigation. Road safety is a crucial issue, ignorance of which can lead to fatalities. These fortuities happen due to speeding which often occurs due to lack of available information about speed limits on particular roads. An algorithm is developed and implemented in C language for simulation purposes by analysing complexities of road structures. Various road tests are performed to illuminate the technical problems in real time. Roads characteristics are examined and different hazards have been optimized through algorithm to resolve problems, faced by drivers. More importantly, it has been implemented within a Field Programmable Gate Array (FGPA), which verifies the simulation result as well.

Locatrix deploys mobile applications on Ubuntu
Case studies
Locatrix Deploys Mobile Applications on Ubuntu
Locatrix Communications is a developer of mobile location-based application services, for deployment by enterprises and mobile network operators.
The four-year old Brisbane-based company is the brains behind the Uandme™ social networking service, which lets mobile subscribers find their friends, receive alerts when they are nearby, and browse for places to meet. Uandme also allows users to share geo-tagged content – such as text messages, blogs and photos. The service is currently being deployed on a number of mobile networks in Australia, Asia and Europe.
Business Challenge
When Telstra, Australia's leading mobile network operator, wanted to enable a social networking community across its extensive subscriber base, it selected Locatrix to provide an industry-leading solution.
The Locatrix UandMe service, which in the Telstra context is known as WhereisEveryone, lets users with GSM, 3G and HSDPA mobile services keep a real-time and constantly updated snapshot of colleagues' and buddies' locations on their cell phones, and set up individual alerts. Once the group - all users have to expressly permit the tracking - has converged, they can use location services to help them find a nearby point of interest or meeting place.
Locatrix started development on Sun hardware running Solaris, then went the Linux route - first with Red Hat Linux and then, after active lobbying from their software architect, to servers running Canonical's Ubuntu distribution.
"We tried Ubuntu as a development platform and it quickly spread through our various projects, [so] we made a decision to host our first mobile operator deployment - Telstra - on Ubuntu," said Locatrix Founder & CEO Mark White.
Ubuntu Solution
Ubuntu fit the job like a glove, he said. For one thing, it allows developers to install and lock down the specific components they want. That has big ramifications from a footprint and security perspective. Unlike other major Linux distributions, with Ubuntu there was no need to recompile from source code every time the developers had to work on more than one native platform.
"The minimum install capability lets us deploy a basic LAMP configuration very quickly, running only the services and daemons that we need - and nothing else," he stressed. "Hardware detection is fantastic and the stock kernel has everything we need. From a security standpoint, the fact that we get to select very specific package sets to be installed is useful."
The company's developers also rave about Ubuntu's AptGet (advanced packaging tool) which automates the retrieval, configuration and installation of applications and eases their management. AptGet is a "huge improvement" over the RTM package manager found in other distributions, White noted.
The Result
Telstra, which launched the service via its BigPond Mobile portal in February 2007, is thrilled by the uptake of Whereis Everyone. Indeed, the community of users grows by thousands every week, and the stability of Ubuntu Linux has been a key factor it the service's success.

Amazon.com: Punished by Impatient Investors
After ramping up spending to better compete with Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN) reported a 73 percent plunge in third-quarter profit on Oct. 25, to $63 million. Shares closed down 13 percent the next day as investors showed impatience with the company's strategy of sacrificing profit margins for sales and market share gains. In November, Amazon will begin selling its new Kindle Fire tablet for $199, which is half the price of Apple's iPad and also less than the device costs to produce. The company aims to generate profits by selling digital music, books, and movies. Amazon's operations could lose $200 million in the fourth quarter as costs mount, the company said.
Cigna: Banking on Baby Boomers
Cigna (CI), the fifth-largest U.S. insurer, agreed to buy HealthSpring (HS), a health-maintenance organization, for $3.8 billion in cash. The deal will add 1.17 million Medicare customers, tripling the number Cigna currently serves. Three-quarters of seniors are covered directly by Medicare and not by commercial managed-care plans, making private plans the fastest-growing products for health insurers. After this move to target baby boomers, Cigna now is looking for acquisitions that will help direct sales to consumers younger than 65.
Netflix: Lost Subscribers, Plunging Stock
Netflix's (NFLX) stock plunged 27 percent on Oct. 24 after the company revealed it lost 800,000 U.S. subscribers in the third quarter and predicted even more cancellations over a price increase. The company hasn't been able to contain a customer revolt over its price hike and aborted plan to force subscribers into separate streaming and DVD services. Netflix now forecasts losses in 2012 because of the costs associated with launching its service in the U.K. and Ireland. The company says it will delay further expansion until profitability is restored.
First Solar: Strategy Shakeup as CEO Leaves
First Solar (FSLR) slashed its forecasts for sales and profit in 2011 after ousting CEO Rob Gillette, saying it needed a shift in strategy to survive falling prices for solar panels. Gillette aggressively expanded First Solar's production, almost doubling its capacity in a bet that thin-film panels could compete against polysilicon panels. Demand and prices for solar gear have been falling, driven down in part by increased output of polysilicon panels from Chinese manufacturers. Gillette is the third high-level executive at First Solar to leave this year.
Oracle: Looks Up to the Cloud
In an effort to broaden its reach in cloud computing services, Oracle (ORCL) agreed to pay $1.5 billion to buy RightNow Technology, a Web-based customer service specialist. RightNow (RNOW) helps companies provide customer service through call centers, social networks, and the Internet. Oracle has been building up its cloud capabilities since launching its Public Cloud last year, which offers "on demand" delivery of applications including sales force automation, human resources, and databases.

Starting in 1682 and continuing for several decades afterwards, large numbers of Quakers migrated from the British Isles to William Penn's colony, Pennsylvania. The following individuals are among my ancestors who are associated with that migration. This page includes only those ancestors about whom I know more than their names.
Abraham Darlington was baptised 13 March 1689/90 in Whitegate parish, Cheshire, England. He died 9 Feb.1776 in Birmingham township, Chester County, Penn. The second son of Job Darlington and Mary Nield of Darnhall, Cheshire, England, Abraham migrated to America about 1711, but possibly before 1704. He apparently became a Quaker after coming to America. He first settled Aston township, Chester (now Delaware) County, Penn. In 1724, he moved to Birmingham Township, Penn. He was a saddler and farmer. In later life, he was self-taught physician and surgeon of considerable repute. Held various township offices and was Chester County coronor for year beginning Oct. 4, 1729. Abraham married twice: Deborah Carter on March 31, 1712, no children; Elizabeth Hilborn on Jan 3, 1716. Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Hilborn and Elizabeth Hooten. Abraham and Elizabeth had 10 children.
George Chandler. Baptized Apr. 8, 1633 in Wilcot parish, Wiltshire, England, the same day his mother was buried. Third child of John and Ann Chandler. After marriage, acquired farm at Great Hodge in adjoining parish of Pewsey, where he probably lived until migration to America. March 31, 1686, George and brother John bonded to Robert Pyle for 20 pounds, 12 shillings, payable in America to Robert Pyle Jr. and Nicholas Pyle. Died at sea enroute to Pennsylvania on Dec 13, 1687.
Jane ???. Married George Chandler before 1671 in England, probably Wiltshire. She died after 1716 in Penn. Jane pparently lived prosperous life, marrying two or three times after arriving in Pennsylvania. I have found references to the Widow Chandler's home, which was apparently still standing in 1876 on what is now the site of U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. Her brother-in-law, John Chandler, was active in colonial politics and close to William Penn. In August court session 1689, Jane Hawkes was one of 12 women appointed to examine condition of female criminal, only instance of the kind on record. George and Jane had seven or eight children. Second husband: William Hawkes (??-c.1694) Third husband: James Bayliss (??-c.1716)
Jane Chandler was born 1670 in Marborough, Wiltshire, England,the daughter of George and Jane Chandler. She died 1726 in East Bradford Township, Penn. . She arrived in Pennsylvania with mother and siblings in 1687. Her father died at sea. Jane married Robert Jefferis, possibly in January 1693. They had 13 children.
Thomas Hilborn [also Hillborn, Hilbourn, Hilbourne]. Baptized Dec. 17, 1655 at St. Mary's Church, North Petherton, Somerset County, England. Died April 30, 1723, in Newtown, Bucks County, Penn. Son of Robert and Mary (Hayes) Hilborn. Immigrated to Newport, R.I. in 1670 as indentured servant of Christopher Holder, a Quaker minister. His indenture was for four years and was signed March 25, 1670 at Bristol, England. Among Quakers whipped in Boston at some time before 1677. In Shrewsbury, N.J., by Aug. 18, 1687 when he acquired land from John Tucker of Deale. On March 22, 1687/8 he received patent to 100 acres of land. Bought other land in New Jersey in 1690s. Appointed by governor of East and West Jersey as one of three guardians of his father-in-law on Feb. 15, 1692/3. Moved to Bucks County, Penn., about 1702.
The noted Quaker folk artist Edward Hicks (1780-1849) painted a picture of Thomas Hilborn's residence in Bucks County. It can be seen, among other places, on the
ExplorePAhistory.com Website.
Elizabeth Hooten was born 1673 in Skegby, Nottinghamshire, England, the younger of two children of Samuel and Elizabeth (Smedley) Hooten. She died after 1732, probably in Bucks County, Penn. Her parents immigrated to Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, N.J. about 1675. Elizabeth married Thomas Hilborn 12 Dec. 1688, at her mother's home in Shrewsbury. She, her husband and her mother were appointed guardians of her father in 1693. Elizabeth and Thomas had 12 children.
Samuel Hooten was baptized 1633 at Ollerton, Nottingham, England. Probably died 1700-02 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, N.J. Second of seven children of Oliver and Elizabeth Hooton. On Feb. 15, 1692/3, his wife, his daughter Elizabeth and her husband, Thomas Hilborn, were appointed by governor of East and West Jersey to be guardians of Samuel because he is "rendered uncapable to act through a distemper of lunacy." All four were living in Shrewsbury, N.J., at time. They were still acting as guardians as late as Oct. 16, 1699 when they sold several lots of his property in Mansfield Township, Burlington County, N.J. Married Elizabeth Smedley of Skegby in 1670 at his mother's house in Skegby, Nottinghamshire, England.
Robert Jefferis. Born 1656, possibly in Wiltshire, England. Died Apr 4, 1739 in East Bradford Township, Penn. Possibly son of John Jefferis. Came to Pennsylvania no later than 1685 and possibly as early as Dec. 15, 1681, perhaps on ship Bristol Factor. Earliest record is as witness in Chester Sept. 1685. Robert Jefferis married twice. The first was Jane Chandler. The second was Ann, maiden name unknown. Robert was active in public affairs. Served as constable in Westtown in 1703, succeeding his neighbor, Richard Buffington (see other immigrant ancestors). Many of his descendants were Quakers, but according to Gilbert Cope, who did extensive Quaker genealogy work in late 1800s, it does not appear that Robert himself was a Quaker. In 1691, he bought 60 acres near middle of Upper Chichester twp, probably living there until 1701. In 1701, he bought 169 acres in what is now East Bradford and sold Chichester lands. In 1721, he added 189 acres to holdings by purchase. In 1733, Robert conveyed homestead to son Benjamin, reserving a lifetime interest.
Ralph Lewis was born in Glamorganshire, Wales. He died in 1710 in Chester County, Penn. Ralph is possibly the son of Ralph and Ann (Prichard) Lewis, although another theory is that father was David Lewis. Family left Teverig or Illan, Glamorgan(shire), Wales for Pennsylvania in 1683 with John Bevan, a cousin, apparently through John's mother Jane Prichard, sister of Ann. If Prichard connection is accurate, the line extends back into royal family of England. The group sailed on ship Morning Star, of Chester, Thomas Hayes, master. Ship left Mosson in September 1683, arriving in Delaware River and at Philadelphia Nov. 16-20, 1683. Ralph first settled in Haverford township, Chester County, Penn. He and his family may have moved to Darby township in 1691. His wife, Mary, died 2 Sept. 1704, in Chester County, Penn.
Jane Moor or Moore was born in 1632 in England. She died 1 Nov. 1722 in Chester County, Penn. Jane married John Sharples(s) on Apr. 27, 1662. They had seven children.
John Sharples(s) was baptized 15 Aug. 1624, in Wynbunbury, Cheshire, England. He died 11 June 1685 in Ridley Township, Chester County, Penn. John settled near Chester (then Upland), Penn., in 1682. He built a cabin on Ridley Creek in 1,000-acre grant of land (partially in Middleton township). John was among earliest followers of George Fox (Quakers) in England and one of original purchasers of land in William Penn's colonization efforts. The family came to American on either the "Lyon" from Liverpool, England, which arrived at Philadelphia 13 Aug. 1682, or the "Friendship" from Liverpool, which arrived 14 Aug. 1682. The latter is considered more likely. He and his wife, Jane Moore, had seven children. His death and those of his two daughters, Phebe and Jane, occured within a few weeks of each other.

Soap bubbles with coloured refraction from card underneath. I used liquid hand-soap in warm water.
Although these images are highly processed in Photoshop CS6 they are also the result of some considerable effort in photographing them. The set-up is quite involved and I had difficult getting the bubbles and refractions from the coloured card (underneath) right. Because the bubbles from the soap kept dissipating quickly I had to have a plastic tube in my mouth as I shot the other end was in the water dish, so I could 'blow bubbles' as I shot them.

I may be mad, but there is method in my madness. Actually, it was a tube from my mountain-bike hydration sac (that's a drinking bottle to you). The only technical difficulty is that I'm used to sucking on it (when riding my bike), so I was in danger here of sucking some soapy water!

Bet that would make you pedal faster to the nearest loo lol. like your idea! next time try DVD's in the water and shine a torch or sunlight through the window will do, you can also buy cheap coloured plastic mirrors in different colours to experiment with. I try lots of different idea's and why not if the technology is there use it!. nice one like it, thank you for your vote on my pinball wizard, regards Leon.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Liberty City Minute Guide by HurrikaneX
Version: 1.2 | Updated: 03/14/13 | Printable Version
----- GRAND THEFT AUTO4 ----- GTAIV ----- LIBERTY CITY MINUTE / LOWEST PERCENTAGE GUIDE By Ben Heins ----- www.BenHeins.com VERSION HISTORY: - 1.0 (7/8/12): Submitted "Liberty City Minute/Lowest Percentage Guide." - 1.1 (8/4/12): Adjusted mission numbers to reflect the actual numbers the game registers; streamlined the mission order; and finally, added contributed commentary from Nick. - 1.2 (3/14/13): Minor formatting inconsistencies remedied. ******************************************************************************* Liberty City Minute/Lowest Percentage Guide © 2012, Ben Heins. Grand Theft Auto IV © 2008, Rockstar Games. Any duplication of this guide without my permission is strictly forbidden, unless it is used only for personal means (no profit whatsoever). If you would like permission to publish this guide on a website other than GameFAQs.com, please e-mail me. I also retain the right to deny any requests. ******************************************************************************* CONTENTS -------- I. Introduction II. Tips & Strategies III. Detailed Guide IV. Short Guide V. Conclusion VI. Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have played Grand Theft Auto IV once through, you probably spent a great deal of time absorbing the magnificent story, scenery, and gameplay. Therefore, it might be true that you missed the "Liberty City Minute" achievement/trophy. Alternatively, you may want to see how low of a completion percentage you can get on your next playthrough. If so, this guide is for you! I love this game and I have my ways of playing each mission; but I am not naïve enough to think my ways are the best ways. The guide purposefully omits details about the missions themselves in favor of allowing you to play the game the way you want to play it. Also, to be clear, this guide only includes the exact number of missions needed to make the credits roll. Please see Section V for specific statistics and other notes. The goal? Have fun! (And nab that achievement/trophy!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. TIPS & STRATEGIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section is dedicated specifically to those of you attempting the "Liberty City Minute." To get this achievement/trophy, you will need to complete the main story in under 20 hours. This is pretty easy to do, especially if this is not the first time you have played through the game. Best of luck! - BE SMART: If you're low on health, catch a cab to a safehouse or reload your game and rest. - CATCH CABS: Whenever you're on foot and need to get somewhere, catch a cab. If youre not near a road after completing a mission, reload your game and catch one near your safehouse. This may be more difficult in the very beginning when youre strapped for cash. The exception to catching cabs, of course, is when a part of a mission will require you to drive. - PASS TIME: If you are waiting for a call/text from someone important and are not receiving it, call them directly. If this does not work, rest and walk around the street outside your safehouse a bit. If this doesn't work, rinse and repeat. - SWITCH IT: There are many, many different orders of playing these missions. If you want to complete them in a different order than the one listed in the guide, feel free! - RAID 'EM: Collect ammo from dead people as often as possible, as you will not be visiting a gun store. - SAVE, PLEASE: Yes, the auto-save function should be your main save file. Sometimes, though, it may be wise to save a permanent file. - DON'T DIE: Ha! O.K., to be more realistic, I highly recommend reloading after dying. - NO FRIENDS: Ignore absolutely every friend and side-quest. - SKIP IT: Skip every cutscene and phone conversation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. DETAILED GUIDE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As stated, there are many orders in which these missions can be completed. The recommended order below is quick and thorough, leaving no essential stone unturned. Best of luck! 1. ROMAN: The Cousins Bellic 2. ROMAN: Its Your Call * Call or rest repeatedly until Roman texts you to trigger the next mission. 3. ROMAN: Threes a Crowd MISSION NOTE: Buy jeans to end the clothes shopping. * Michelle will call you. Her icon will appear. * Roman will call shortly thereafter and you will be required to help him out of a jam. Do this before Michelle. 4. ROMAN: Bleed Out 5. MICHELLE: First Date MISSION NOTE: Pick up the Molotov cocktails under the last overhang before the bowling alley. 6. ROMAN: Easy Fare 7. ROMAN: Jamaican Heat * Vlad will call shortly after you speak with Roman. This will trigger his mission. 8. VLAD: Bull in a China Shop * Rest at your safehouse and Vlad will text you soon to trigger the next mission. 9. VLAD: Hung Out to Dry 10. VLAD: Clean Getaway 11. VLAD: Ivan the Not So Terrible MISSION NOTE: You can either let Ivan live or let him fall. It doesnt matter! (Although, Ivan might not feel so hot if you drop him.) :) * After this mission, call Roman (as a regular call, not an activity). If this does not work, reload your game and sleep. Roman will call shortly thereafter. If he asks to hang out, say no and call him back. Hell say something about helping out with the family business. After this call, his icon will appear and trigger the next mission. * Alternatively, you may get a call from Little Jacob. Ignore his mission, for now. 12. ROMAN: Uncle Vlad * Call Roman afterward to trigger his mission. 13. ROMAN: Crime and Punishment * Little Jacobs mission should have been triggered by now. You can still ignore it, or you can choose to tackle it now instead of later. Only the first of his two missions will be available at this point, though, so I would recommend waiting. * Rest up and Roman will eventually call to tell you hes been shot, triggering the next mission. 14. FAUSTIN: Do You Have Protection? 15. FAUSTIN: Final Destination * Roman will text you, which will activate his mission. Avoid it for now. 16. FAUSTIN: No Love Lost * Choose to do Romans mission next. 17. ROMAN: Logging On * Roman will call you about Brucies exports. Ignore it, as this is not necessary. 18. FAUSTIN: Rigged To Blow * Call Roman or go to sleep until he calls you about meeting Brucie. After the phone call, both Brucie and Dimitri will appear as missions. Head to Dimitri. 19. DIMITRI: The Master and the Molotov MISSION NOTE: Dont forget about answering Dimitris text and retrieving the body armor. * After this mission you will have to decide between Little Jacob and Brucie. If you have not already completed Little Jacobs missions, choose Jacob. 20. LITTLE JACOB: Concrete Jungle 21. LITTLE JACOB: Shadow * You will get a call from Little Jacob. Afterward, a message will appear telling you to either contact Dimitri or wait for him to contact you. Call Dimitri to automatically trigger the next mission. 22. DIMITRI: Russian Revolution MISSION NOTE: Your Molotovs may come in handy during the warehouse escape. * You will then be instructed to call Roman. This will automatically trigger the next mission. 23. ROMAN: Romans Sorrow * Keep ignoring Brucie and take Mannys missions. 24. MANNY: Escuela of the Streets 25. MANNY: Street Sweeper * Call Mallorie to trigger Elizabetas mission. 26/27. ELIZABETA: Luck of the Irish MISSION NOTE: The game counts this mission as two missions, for some strange reason. 28. ELIZABETA: Blow Your Cover * Hit Brucies mission next. * Playboy may text you at some point, but just ignore his mission for now. 29. BRUCIE: Search and Delete 30. BRUCIE: Easy as Can Be 31. BRUCIE: Out of the Closet (Part I Only) * After exiting the café, Mannys icon will reappear. Forget about French Tom and Brucie altogether. * It may help to hijack a helicopter at Helitours for this next mission. 32. MANNY: The Puerto Rican Connection * Playboy X should be the last icon on your screen. * While youre out and about, you will receive a text from an Unknown Contact. Ignore him for now. 33. PLAYBOY X: Deconstruction for Beginners 34. PLAYBOY X: Photo Shoot * Call Elizabeta to trigger her mission. 35. ELIZABETA: The Snow Storm 36. ELIZABETA: Have a Heart * Go to the first Unknown Contact (Francis McReary). Michelle will call and become your second Unknown Contact. Playboy will call and make Dwaynes icon appear, as well. Permanently ignore Dwayne, but remember that Michelles missions (U.L.P.C.) need to be completed at some point. Feel free to tackle those whenever you want. In the meantime, go to Francis. (Mallorie may call in a panic, occasionally.) 37. FRANCIS: Call and Collect * Packie will call soon, producing his icon. Ignore Francis, and hit Packie. 38. PACKIE: Harboring a Grudge 39: PACKIE: Waste Not Want Knots * Go to Perseus and get your suit for Packie's next mission. * Three things happen: Packie will text you, Ray will call, and Mallorie will finally tell you that Roman has been kidnapped. You can speed things up by resting. Obviously, we know what takes priority. :) * Ignore the prospect of dating Katie, of course. 40. ROMAN: Hostile Negotiation * Roman will call you at some point about the new safehouse in Algonquin. 41. PACKIE: Three Leaf Clover * At some point, you will get calls that prompt both Gerry and Derrick McRearys icons. You are welcome to knock off some McReary missions at any point here, as that narrative runs parallel to the mob's. * Feel free to plow through Ray's missions now, as you will need to complete them anyway. 42. RAY: A Long Way to Fall 43. RAY: Taking in the Trash 44. RAY: Meltdown 45. RAY: Museum Piece 46. RAY: No Way on the Subway 47. RAY: Late Checkout * Rest up until Ray texts you about Phil Bell, or hit a McReary mission to pass the time. 48. PHIL: Truck Hustle * Phil prompts the assassination missions, but of course, they should be permanently ignored. * Reload and sleep until Phil calls about Jimmy Pegorino. * Change back into your suit, if you havent already done so, then go to Jimmy. 49. JIMMY: Pegorinos Pride * Reload and sleep until Jimmy texts you. 50. JIMMY: Payback MISSION NOTE: If youre going for a lowest percentage run, avoid the Stunt Jump during the chase. 51. PHIL: Catch the Wave * Both Jimmy and Phil will reappear on the map. Choose Jimmy first. 52. JIMMY: Flatline 53. PHIL: Trespass 54. PHIL: To Live and Die in Alderney * If you havent done any McReary missions, you should now have three McReary icons on your map. Michelle can still be ignored at this point. Youll have to complete all three of the McRearys missions, so hit up Francis first. 55/56. FRANCIS: Final Interview (Part I & II) MISSION NOTE: During the intermission, you should reload and change back into your suit, if you have not already done so. 57. FRANCIS: Holland Nights MISSION NOTE: I always liked sniping Clarence from down the street. :) 58. FRANCIS: Lure 59. GERRY: Actions Speak Louder than Words 60. GERRY: I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle 61. DERRICK: Smackdown MISSION NOTE: Armor is always near Derricks location, behind the wall where the cop car is, in the back of the station. * Reload and rest until three things happen: Derricks icon reappears, Ray texts you about your new safehouse in Alderney, and Ray calls to automatically activate the next mission. 62. NIKO: Weekend at Florians * You can now wrap up the McReary narrative. 63. DERRICK: Babysitting 64. DERRICK: Tunnel of Death * Reload and rest. It may take Francis a couple of rests to text you. 65. FRANCIS: Blood Brothers MISSION NOTE: Kill one of the brothers. Again, your choice doesnt matter. (However, if you kill Derrick, Francis will be able to get the cops off your back in the future. This decision is a little unpopular, though.) :) * Reload and rest a few times. Three more things will happen: Bernie will call, Ray will text, and finally, Packie will call and automatically put you in the next mission. * If you arent back in your suit already, get in it now. 66. PACKIE: Undertaker * Get to Jimmy. * Alternatively, feel free to knock out Bernies missions at any point, as these will need to be completed. 67/68. JIMMY: Pest Control (Part I & II) MISSION NOTE: The first part is literally just a cutscene. MISSION NOTE: Reload and rest for a while after the first part. Jimmy will eventually call and automatically continue the mission. * While you were resting, Gerry likely called from jail, prompting his icon to reappear. Deal with his mission next. 69/70. GERRY: Ill Take Her (Part I & II) * Call Packie or rest up until he calls to trigger the next mission. 71. NIKO: Ransom * Call Packie or rest up until he calls to trigger the next mission. 72. GERRY: Shes a Keeper 73. GERRY: Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend * Time to take care of Bernie, if you havent already. 74. BERNIE: Hating the Haters 75. BERNIE: Union Drive * Reload and rest until Bernie texts you. 76. BERNIE: Buoys Ahoy MISSION NOTE: If youre going for the lowest percentage, avoid the Stunt Jumps in the river. * Bernie will call later in the game and offer you Bryces Infernus. Permanently ignore it. * Finally, tackle Michelles mission (the Unknown Contact). 77. U.L.P.C.: Wrong Is Right 78. U.L.P.C.: Portrait of a Killer * Youll get a call from the U.L.P.C. employee, which will activate Jons mission. Feel free to hit these at any time, as they need to be completed. 79. U.L.P.C.: Dust Off MISSION NOTE: I highly recommend taking a helicopter for this mission. * Eventually, the U.L.P.C. employee will call and tell you he will be in touch. Then, after some time (a few rests), you will be automatically thrown into the next mission. 80. U.L.P.C.: Paper Trail * Time to complete Jons missions, if you havent already. 81. JON: Entourage 82. JON: Dining Out 83. JON: Liquidize the Assets * You will have to rest a few times before the U.L.P.C. employee calls. In the meantime, Mallorie, Roman, Brucie, and Kate will call. When the employee does finally call, the next mission will be automatically triggered. 84. NIKO: That Special Someone * Bernie will call shortly after you drop Roman off, and Jimmys call wont be too far behind. 85. JIMMY: One Last Thing * Both Roman and Kate will call before you can choose an option. * Realistically, taking the deal will be much quicker than the revenge option. The firefight in the warehouse is infinitely easier and faster than the battle on the boat. This is, of course, the saddest ending. 86. NIKO: If The Price Is Right * Roman will call, followed by Jimmy and Kate. 87. NIKO: Mr. & Mrs. Bellic * Little Jacob will text you. Call him to activate the final mission. 88.

A confirmation of which mission(s) in the list above that you did not have to play. 2. A picture of your stats. Grand Theft Auto IV - and really, almost every GTA game - is a masterpiece. This one, specifically, continues to amaze me five years later.

Nissan introduces the Resonance Concept at the 2013 North American International Auto Show at Cobo Center on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013 in Detroit. / Kathleen Galligan/Detroit Free Press
Nissan unveiled a concept midsize crossover called Resonance this morning at the North American International Auto Show.
Industry watchers will look at it for clues of the replacement of NissanÆs current Murano, which is expected about a year from now.
When first introduced in the last decade, the Murano featured a breakthrough design the helped carve a new niche of vehicles that were neither wagons or SUVs.
ōThe Resonance redefines the crossover segment yet again,ö said Andy Palmer, Nissan vice president of global product planning.
The concept features a hybrid-electric powertrain as Nissan pushes its alternative powertrain portfolio to be more competitive with Toyota..
Nissan has raised its profile a this yearÆs show, with an elaborate exhibit area that will serve as the framework for its exhibits at 11 leading auto shows around the world. In addition to two turntable stages, the stand has a high-def LED display, mood music that varies with the time of day.

• LIVE BLOG: Follow all the action from press preview days
• FULL COVERAGE: Visit freep.com/autoshow
In an innovation destined to become either a punch line or the next big thing at auto shows, a scent generator wafts a smell intended to complement NissanÆs brand character throughout the stand.
In addition, Nissan showed an update of its subcompact hatchback, the 2014 Versa Note.
It will go on sale this summer with a starting price of $13,990, said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager of Nissan division.
The vehicle has class-leading cargo space thanks to its hatchback body style. The Versa Note features options including heated front seats, a navigation system, hands-free text messaging, and a ōround-viewö camera that can provide a 360-degree overhead view for parking and spotting nearby objects. Nissan says the most fuel efficient Versa Note will get 40 mile.per gallon. on the highway. That technology was first introduced in NissanÆs Infiniti brand and has since been standard or optional equipment on other Nissan models.
There will not be a hybrid option initially on Versa Note, which is slightly bigger than NissanÆs Leaf all-electric car.
Castignetti would not rule out introducing a hybrid powertrain in the small car eventually.
ōYouÆre dealing with an industry that is putting so much pressure on fuel economy that you canÆt rule out hybrids or any technology that will take your vehicles to greater efficieny,ö he said.
Separately, an not part of the press conference, NissanÆs stand will also feature a one-of-a-kind gold GT-R sports car to honor six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt, the worldÆs fastest man.

list of positives long at short run
On a windy day at Lehigh's Goodman Campus, the Muhlenberg men's cross country team blew past many of its rivals.
The Mules finished fourth out of 41 complete teams at the Paul Short Run, beaten only by Ithaca (ranked sixth in the Atlantic Region), Messiah (sixth in the Mideast Region) and Division I Manhattan.
Ranked 10th in the Mideast, Muhlenberg outscored No. 8 Gettysburg by 20 points and No. 9 Grove City by 138. The Mules also beat two Division I squads (Wake Forest and San Diego) and a host of Division II teams. They finished well ahead of local rivals DeSales and Moravian as well as Centennial Conference foes Swarthmore, McDaniel, Ursinus and Franklin & Marshall (in addition to Gettysburg).
For the second year in a row, seniors Timothy VanSyckle and David Chorney placed in the top 10 in a field of 270 runners. VanSyckle was fourth in 25:40, the best time ever by a Muhlenberg runner at the Paul Short Run, and Chorney was 10th.
The women placed 17th out of 37 schools - beating conference foes McDaniel and Franklin & Marshall as well as Moravian. Sophomore Kate Mahoney (left) was 31st out of 255 runners, improving her time from last year's Paul Short Run by more than two minutes.

Sharks in danger
March 16, 2013 12:00 AMThank you for putting the shark article in the paper ("Predators Become Prey: Humans Fear Sharks But Sharks Should Fear Humans," March 6 editorial). I am glad you are bringing attention to the fact that sharks are dying out.
I hope this article will help people see that they're being greedy about shark fins.
I hope sharks will be around when I grow up.

Okay, backgrounds are much better now. Not as good as the first episode. Sorry this took so long to come out; voice actor lines were delayed for a few days. And I couldn't animate anymore till I got them. So that plus I became less motivated to animate. Since I started a new group on DA I've been managing it alot and I kinda lost interest in animating for the moment. I'll try to animate for the people who want to see more. But it's going to be hard... Also I've been extremely miserable for awhile about my animations. If you really want to know the details, it's on my website. I just can't animate when I'm this miserable.Q.Q

I've tried animation, and I know its very long and hard. I like how the story is really good. Yes, the animation's not the best on Newgrounds, but the story is really good, and that's what counts.

Lacking visually, but with good structure
Is this story and are these characters original? I'm writing this review under the assumption that they are.
Your backgrounds are messy and simplistic. Your animations are very minimal and the voice acting is heavily compressed and far from perfect... BUT, you're focused on telling a story, and you don't seem to be letting anything get in the way of that. FAR too many animations on newgrounds have this formula backwards. Great visuals should come AFTER a well structured story and original characters.
My advice would be to keep working with your focus on the story and characters, but slowly keep trying to improve your art. Look around at other people's art and try to emulate their style. In times where you are waiting for voice work, just go nuts on the detail of a background.
Don't feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the background. You don't have to draw every tree and plant. You only have to IMPLY the existence of these objects. Try looking at similar backgrounds in cartoons and anime. Notice how most of the time, very little work has gone into them, but they imply the space with shadows or lowering detail in the background.
Even if you don't change a thing about the art, I think you're going somewhere with this. Don't lose faith in yourself.
Yup, it is all original and thank you ^^

You have set out on a very large project here, so you deserve credit for that. I enjoy your art style, it's nice that you don't use outlines, and don't overuse gradients TOO much (though at times they do stand out as cheap). The voice acting was all pretty good, and the music was lovely. Your art style is enjoyable, but at times it seems a little lazy, there are issues that could be fixed easily that are left blatantly undone (the change of focus when the rama falls out of the tree means the black silhouette of the rama doesn't fill the corners of the stage as it should). Still it was a fun thing to watch, and i wish you the best with future efforts!
thanks :)

I just feel.......
miserable..... I can't voice act Q.Q.
That doesn't mean I give up voice acting in your Avania project but I do think I will not get the chance on being on this project which makes me more miserable...oh nooo I also forgot I have too much work to do which make me in a much more miserable....
oh COME ON Why this stupid feeling ? CONTROL YOUR SELF! I do it all the time .... also you really need someone do help you get your work in a better shape... it is not wrong to get some help? Can help with your project ? please :) I am an artist too I draw anime and I like anime... but I am not good enough for a big work :( .... I am still one the first steps of the female body shape :S I got the right prospects of the female but I still give her fat shape not like the pepsi bottle shape I give her a shape more like Pear.
Did you imagine your characters FAT ? :P I have just got this idea XD you can call this chapter the "what happens to my characters when I feel miserable."
anyway can I draw something ? animate something add anything so bored -_-
can I try to animate or something with you ? Please ! Please ! Please !
miserable feelings is the worst enemy of an artist so that is why I am offering your my help. or maybe because I am bored -_--!
I am giving you 6/10 because I wish I could see improvements. give your self more broader world to the flash animation. you can do more than sample things.
If I just can just give you a sample of what I can do.... but I have formatted my computer Q_Q I have only a very small work originally created by a friend of mine :P I will show it to you when I get into my computer in pm :F I hope that it help you get a small idea of what I am saying about broader world of flash animation.
actually i'm not miserable about the voices. I'm miserable for another reason lol. I never decided I was going to quit the project because I got so many voice actors together. So you don't have to worry. O.O
